Spotted
Gould's Euphonia is a small, attractive finch, known for the male's glossy blue-black upperparts, bright yellow underparts, and distinct chestnut patches on the flanks. Females are duller green.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests of Central America, from southern Mexico south to Panama. It prefers forest understory and edges.
How to spot
Look for this euphonia in the understory and mid-story of humid forests, particularly around fruiting shrubs. The male's chestnut flank patches are a key identifier. Listen for its high-pitched, thin, and often repeated calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when it is actively foraging for small fruits and insects.

Unlike many euphonias that stick to the canopy, Gould's Euphonia is often observed foraging in the understory and mid-story, making it somewhat easier to spot.
